Maurice Wilson (1914-1987)
Aepyornis maximus, Elephant bird, 1950.
Watercolour on paper, 395 x 285 mm.
For generations, dinosaurs and fossils have inspired children
and adults. Stimulating this interest has been artwork of
the prehistoric world, reproduced as illustrations in many
books.
These drawings used scientific fact deduced from the fossil
record, combined with the artist's imagination, resulting
in an impression of a world that existed millions of years
ago.
